Bomb-Sniffing Camels in Iraqi Theatre of (cough) Incompetence

Remember all the bullshit Bush told you about Iraq.  Of course, how could you forget.  After his lies were replaced by another set, we learn today that story was bullshit too.

The current status of the On Again / Off Again with WMDs is as follows:

George Bush:  CIA says lots of WMDS.  We will all die.

Everyone else:  It was all crap to make money for Cheney.

Now:  Oh wait, a classified report said there really were WMDs in Iraq and ISIS found them by employing bomb-sniffing camels, much like rats in Madagascar can sniff out land mines.


As those of us smarter than a lump of pumice will recall, it was a phony classified report that Bush used to report WMDs in Iraq in the first place.


So now ISIS doesn't have the same WMDs Hussein didn't have before them.  The Axis of Evil just keeps twisting in its devious and malevolent ways.


But, wait ... there's an even bigger threat.  ISIS captured three Syrian fighter jets and will 'train' Iraqi pilots to fly them.  This surprised me as I figured ISIS would tow the jets to targets with pickup trucks and then roll them into the 'enemy' to explode them.  So, instead, they will send up some Iraqi fighter pilots so naval gunners can use them for target practice.


And to think all this could have been prevented if only the US Army had the bomb-sniffing camels sooner.
